•There's also a suburban railway line (known locally as Proastiakos) at the airport, which takes you to Athens Central Railway Station(Larissa Station) and to Piraeus (Athens city port).

The train trip to Larissa Station takes about 40 minutes, the trip to Piraeus about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

A one-way tickets cost around 6€.

Trains depart every 15 minutes, from 6:10 AM–7:45 PM.

These suburban trains aren't very comfortable though, and we advise taking the metro instead.

•If you plan to stay less than a week in Athens and fly back from ATH Airport, it's a good idea to get a 3-day tourist ticket, which costs €22 and is valid on all modes of public transportation inside the urban zone, and includes the round trip to the airport.

•Regular urban zone metro tickets cost €1.40, and are valid for 90 minutes. There are ticket machines in every metro station. Remember to keep your ticket on you, as it may be inspected during your trip or when exiting the metro station.
